Chiquimula is a northeastern department of Guatemala. The region is mountainous, with a climate that varies between tropical and temperate. It is known for being the cradle of art and artists as many of Guatemala’s best poets, writers, singers, musicians come from there.
This coffee is sourced from Finca La Perla Negra in Esquipulas, Chiquimula. The department of Chiquimula is coloquially known as La Perla de Oriente, and the municipality of Esquipulas is known for its Black Christ, a wooden image of Christ now housed in the Basilica of Esquipulas. Both of these are the namesake of the farm.
The resulting cup reminds us of chocolate, toffee and hazelnut.
